EN 15725:2010
(Main)Extended application reports on the fire performance of construction products and building elements
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard gives the procedures for preparing reports on the extended application process using the results of reaction to fire tests, fire resistance tests and external fire exposure to roof tests undertaken for fire classification of products and product families in accordance with the various parts of EN 13501.
This standard makes reference to ‘extended application standards’ throughout; wherever this term is used it refers to either a standard prepared by CEN/TC 127 ‘Fire safety in buildings’ or the relevant product standard which includes information on extended application. In some cases, where a standard is not yet published, relevant bodies may issue recommendations for use by Notified Bodies in attestation procedures for CE marking under the Construction Products Directive (CPD), http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newapproach/nando/.
The European system currently permits extended application rules to be included in technical specifications. CEN Technical Committees and EOTA Working groups producing these rules are asked to seek the guidance of CEN/TC 127 to ensure that their rules comply with standards prepared by CEN/TC 127. In cases where extended application rules in harmonised EN product standards and ETAs do not comply with standards prepared by CEN/TC 127 the CEN BT shall be informed.

Expert judgement cannot form any part of extended application for CE marking, but may be obtained by manufacturers as a voluntary judgement outside of CE-marking. 3.14 constructional parameter design and construction that may be varied and which may result in a change in the fire resistance performance, e.g. in a stud framed separating element a change in the dimensions of a stud 3.15 thermal and mechanical parameters conditions of a test that may influence the classification given, e.g. the pressure differential that will exist at the top of a larger element than existed at the top of the specimen when tested 3.16 factor variation that may be applied to a parameter, e.g. a change in the stiffness as a result of a dimensional change in the stud SIST EN 15725:2010
An extended application report is equivalent to a test report in that it then forms the basis for preparing a classification report. This process is illustrated in Figure 1.

5.2.3 External fire exposure to roofs The rules governing the direct field of application of results from external fire exposure to roof tests are given in EN 13501-5:2005+A1. 5.3 Extended field of application 5.3.1 General principles Extended application shall be undertaken by the laboratory which has carried out the relevant fire tests. If test results are to be used from more than one laboratory, then the extended application shall be undertaken by one of these laboratories and consultation should be made with the other laboratories.
NOTE When extended application is intended to be used for CE marking purposes the intervention of a Notified Body is mandatory.
When a Notified Body is requested to produce an EXAP Report which requires the consideration of evidence from third parties (e.g. test reports, DIRAP reports, other EXAP reports, etc.), such evidence shall only be used when permission has been obtained from the original sponsor/owner of that evidence.
Extended application shall be undertaken in accordance with the relevant EN extended application standard. Extended application shall be based on test methods in accordance with the relevant European standards or ETAG, which may be supplemented by: documents mentioned in Figure 1 5.3.2 Reaction to fire Information on undertaking extended application from the results of reaction to fire tests and an explanation of the influence of product and end use parameters on reaction to fire performance is given in CEN/TS 15117.
